Splash of Math

Splash of Math is ready to make your summer programming better than ever! Included below are eight 1-hour activities plus 18 shorter activities that you can mix and match to create a summer program that fits your schedule. All activities use supplies that you provide, so you can make the party as small or big as you like. Just click the links below to get started. 

If you’re a summer school provider, please visit our Fun Factor website to order hands-on activities that boost kids’ math skills and help prevent the summer slide. The proof shows that it works. In a double-blind study conducted last summer, scholars who used Fun Factor materials and were either at grade level or early on grade level nearly doubled after six weeks.
